The comely blonde model, a native of St. Joseph, Mich., was seen by several fans in Verlander’s suite at the Palace of Auburn Hills at last Thursday’s Aerosmith concert. The two stars were joined by her BFF, model Lizzy Glynn, and his pal Frank Viola, Jr. (son of Minnesota Twins’ pitcher Frank Viola). (Via HuffPo)

Ever since Upton showed up at a recent Tigers game and *GASP!* might have drank an alcoholic beverage – because 19-year olds never drink – there was buzz as to why this New York Yankees fan and professed Florida native suddenly had an interest in her real home state again. And now we possibly know why.

But if Verlander and Upton are actually an item, I urge her Internet boyfriends to remain calm and not be too upset. After all, it could be much MUCH worse. She could be dating Bryce Harper.

Date Kate Upton or keep winning Cy Youngs? Pretty easy choice as there is only one Kate Upton and they give out two of those awards every year. It’s his consolation prize for staying in Detroit voluntarily.

i have mixed emotions about upton. don’t get me wrong, like any living being with a penis i would totally bang her. but her unapologetic sexual pageantry is something that is totally unique to this era. she is dangerously close to the realm of porn, yet still has not breached that boundary of slutty. way to go verlander.
